Hello again Akhts! Just want to check if you alright for this month, i see the comic for pride parade and that one Anonymous saying that homophobic, like Huh??? It's nothing like that, it's just someone is uncomfortable anything sexual, if you are asexual or not, people still get uncomfortable even LBGT+ people get uncomfortable when it start to get freaky as i think, and to be honest that people from the parade should have control themselves? I'm hopefully not saying anything bad, as a Ally I understand people want to be themselves and be with anyone they desire but sometimes people are not like that like asexual, aromantic for example, and that's okay I think we should respect them for they're comfortability and be their self as well even if they lack of romantic and sexual, that's normal,

I am apologize if I got carried away, I just wanted to say from the mind, take care, stay safe and happy Pride month! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️❤️

Hey bean, I hope you've been well!^^

Some stuff IS getting to me a little bit these days but overall I'm having an awesome pride month, thank you so much for the concern TwT

I DO think everyone at pride events IS controlling themselves, tbh – I mean no offense, but I think "control themselves" is actually a bit of a slippery slope of a phrase, because it may be the kind of thing bigoted people would tell to queer people to force them to mask their non-heteronormative sexuality, ironically the same bigoted people who'd tell us to "get out of our comfort zone" to force us to mask our non-heteronormative sexuality... So I wouldn't go there personally. Everyone should have the right to celebrate in the way they want and feel safe and embraced in. If this can't happen for kink-positive people, heck, if it hadn't started with them, it couldn't happen for us.

I just wish sex-repulsed asexuals wishing for a safe space without heavy sexualization SOMETIMES (again, not ALL OF THE TIME, we're NOT bigoted assholes) wasn't seen as a risk of regression. We ace people began to feel safe expressing our identity thanks to the LGBT people of the past who paved the way for us and showed us it's OK to express a different identity than the heteronormative one. I'd hate for these same people who showed us the way to be the one who repress us.

...Anyway that got heavy. Sorry. Been weighing a bit on my mind. But I had it coming I guess. Guess I got carried away a little too, hehe^^"

But either way, thank you so much for the kind comment and for checking on me, it's super appreciated^^ I hope you're doing good and I hope you're having a lovely pride month!! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️💜

Heyo again! I wanted to say that your comics are lovely to read, Keep it up!

You don’t need to respond to this but I also want some advice from ya, its been pretty bumpy road for me on my art Journey, The good and the bad stuffs, I started drawing again in last year for almost 3 years and I have been improving my art style, I have a small but lovely followers on two social medias, I enjoy making that I love and even making my own artwork but sometimes I feel like I am not artist enough or interested enough, so I maybe ask you for some art advices? Any advice is fine but I want to do a story to draw and tell but I’m not good at writing or experience at least, I also want to start commissions if possible if anyone interested in my artworks but I don’t have a payments yet for now,

I probably search up these things but I want wanted someone who experience just before possibly

You might not understand this submitted question cuz I don’t know how to Express my thoughts and feelings if that makes sense, and you don’t have to answer it if you don’t want to if this isn’t your thing, that’s all from me hope you have a good week

Hi bean! Sorry I'm replying so late! Don't worry, I think you were pretty clear in formulating your question!

I just am not sure if I'm the best person to answer or give advice on that because... I'm not that good an artist at all. I have trouble sticking to discipline, I only ever draw what I like without challenging myself too much unless I REALLY want to, and... Yeah. No wonder I'm at the tiny level I'm at in my 30s, to be honest. The only reason why my art ever gets positive reactions is because I happened to draw something that people liked enough, and even that is super dependent on timing and other factors. It's very tough to get noticed, so I've found, or if it IS easy, then I must be a bit dumb, because I haven't figured it out.

One thing that I feel HAS positively helped me a lot though, has been entering art challenges and contests, and there are plenty of those out there, which is good! If it's anything that can help me practice more towards my goals, then it's a good experience. Be it a writing challenge, a drawing challenge on a specific theme, a comic-drawing challenge or whatnot... Personally I find they always give me an opportunity to develop ideas in a way I like, and to end up with a final product which I don't necessarily always like, but which at least showcases my progress.

I really don't do commissions often because I don't need the money that much, so the extent of my experience goes to IRL stuff and iterances where someone has specifically seeked out a commission from me, so I'm also not the best at giving advice regarding commissions either TwT But if that's something you want, I'd really recommend to go for it! I set up a paypal account to receive payments when I was about your age for translation gigs, it's tough at the start but then it pretty much rolls off pretty easily, and I've only sworn by that, but I'm sure there's many other trustworthy options out there as well! (I really don't have that much experience in that sense, haha TwT)

But yeah... Also overall, I guess, no matter how hard impostor syndrome tends to hit when you're an artist, especially when you're still developing what you want to do and all, it's definitely important to actually go out there and show yourself out. Dare to say "Yeah, I make art, so I'm an artist, let me in on the artist scene." If you want to make art and show your art, overall, nobody has a right to tell you not to, or to tell you you're not an artist, no matter how much societal pressure there is against that. One's gotta have the courage to say they're an artist, or at the very least an aspiring artist, if they wanna be one, it's actually a key part of the process. (Arguably I haven't been good at it lately. I haven't put myself out there much for art gigs or challenges and whatnot. I should really go for it more.)

But yeah TwT Sorry, I feel like I've been writing a whole lot not to say that much, but I hope it's been a little helpful at least! Also from what I can see, and especially from the first years I've known you, your art already has improved a ton, so from my point of view, you're doing good! Don't give up, do your best not to be scared and to fight off that voice in you that tells you you're "not enough of an artist". And hopefully you can keep having fun drawing what you want to draw, that's super important, at the very least to me, I've kept swearing by that, whether what I like drawing is popular or not.

(PS: Listening to music and imagining situations to it and reading new comics that speak out to me are two surefire ways to get my inspiration going too, in case that helps!)
